Inspirational Stories

A monk decides to meditate alone, away from his monastery. He takes his boat out to the middle of the lake, moors it there, closes his eyes and begins his meditation.
After a few hours of undisturbed silence, he suddenly feels the bump of another boat colliding with his own. With his eyes still closed, he senses his anger rising, and by the time he opens his eyes, he is ready to scream at the boatman who dared disturb his meditation.
But when he opens his eyes, he sees it’s an empty boat that had probably got untethered and floated to the middle of the lake.
At that moment, the monk achieves self-realization, and understands that the anger is within him; it merely needs the bump of an external object to provoke it out of him.
From then on, whenever he comes across someone who irritates him or provokes him to anger, he reminds himself, “The other person is merely an empty boat. The anger is within me.”
Some useful timeless tips
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them'
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5.. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER :Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
We all need to live life to its fullest each day, Worry about nothing, pray about everything!!!

Sad Love Story - Tagalog

Prologue Regrets always come last. It never comes first. Bakit, may pagsisisi bang nauna? Wala diba? Sa buhay natin, marami tayong mga desisyon na pinagsisisihan natin. Minsan pa nga ay hinihiling natin na sana ay maibalik pa ang oras at maitama natin ang pagkakamali na ating pinagsisisihan. Pero alam naman nating lahat na imposible yun.. May isang tao na nagtanong saken.. Sabi niya, "If you were given a chance to correct your mistake, what would it be and why?" Nagsmile ako sakanya saka sabing, " Wala akong babaguhin sa mga pagkakamali ko dahil kung hindi dahil sa mga pagkakamali kong iyon ay hindi ako magiging matatag. Kundi dahil doon ay wala ako kung saan ako ngayon kung banaguhin ko ito." Maaari ngang pinagsisihan natin ang mga nagawa natin pero what's best in regret is it teaches us leasons. Mga leksyon kung saan matututo ka at magpapabago sa sarili mo. Here's the story.  :) Regrets 1 Malalim na ang gabi, tulog na ang laha...

He Fooled Himself with a Broken Vase

He Fooled Himself with a Broken Vase The story is told of a young actor who was trying to impress an important movie director. The actor wanted to send an expensive gift, but he didn't have the money, but he had an idea. If he could find a valuable vase which was already broken and get it at a very small cost, then he could mail it to the director. He would think it had gotten broken in the mail and would be impressed anyway. So this actor went to an exclusive store and found a vase that had been broken into many pieces. It was just going to be thrown out, so he was able to get it at a very small cost. He told them to wrap it up and send it and gave them the address. He waited to hear from the director, but heard nothing for several days. Finally he sent a telegram: "Did vase arrive?" Shortly he received this response: "Vase arrived. But why was each piece wrapped separately?" As Abraham Lincoln said, "You may fool all the people some of the time, y...
